Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes–Manaus International Airport is the main airport serving Manaus, Brazil. It is named after the Brazilian politician and military figure Air Marshall Eduardo Gomes (1896–1981). It is operated by Infraero. ==History== Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes International Airport replaced Ponta Pelada Airport as the main public airport of Manaus in 1976. Ponta Pelada was then given the name Manaus Air Force Base and began handling exclusively military operations. The construction of the airport began in 1972 and it was officially inaugurated on 31 March 1976. It was then the most modern airport in Brazil and the first one to operate with jet bridges. Though originally planned to be named ''Supersonic Airport of Manaus'', it had its official name changed to Eduardo Gomes by the law 5.967 of 11 December 1973. The airport has two passenger terminal buildings. Passenger Terminal 1 receives domestic and international flights and Passenger Terminal 2, opened on 12 March 1985, receives general aviation. Furthermore, the airport has three cargo terminals, opened in 1976, 1980 and 2004. They have a total area of 49,000 m² and can process up to 12,000 t/month of cargo. Cargo Terminals 1 and 2 handle goods for export and Cargo Terminal 3 for import. The Brazilian Integrated Air Traffic Control and Air Defense Center section 4 (Cindacta IV) is located in the vicinity of the airport. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eduardo Gomes International Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
